Mortgage Market in Review:

US Equity Markets are mixed so far this week, as the UK has formally started the Brexit process. This has caused bond yields to rise, as risk appetite for these financials instruments has improved. This has caused mortgage rates to remain stable, and at their lowest points of the last month. Whether or not this stability in the mortgage market continues is a question. Consumer confidence hit a high point in March, so we’ll see how much of an impact that has on the markets once investors digest any info or response that comes along with Brexit.
